Description of the incident: Brief summary:
I woke up alongside the CO as the XO round start. I asked if he was taking command, he stated yes, and I was completely okay with that. I then went around doing my assigned duties. I first loaded the OB, then went to req. The briefing was scheduled for 12:20, so I went to arrive. Only to find out - the CO had done a briefing ahead of time, and completed it before 12:19 without notifying anyone over comms. SOP states that all CIC personnel (including me) must attend briefing, but I wasn't even notified it was beginning, because I arrived at 12:19 when it concluded. Luckily, this NoD charge was not pressed on me, but I feel the CO should not be doing briefing ahead of time like this.
Moving on, he notified me he was going to deploy. He did not ask if I was confident in handling CIC, nor if I was comfortable. I was stuck with a staff officer who seemed like he was drunk OOCly, and a newer SO who was trying to do their job. The catch is - while I can handle CIC alone, he was forbidding me to.
Wamakahana Windhealer refused to give ANY autonomy to CIC. He would use multicomms to give orders to all the squads - but then we couldn't react if he included bravo in there as well (who was on FOB duty). He also restricted CIC from using OBs except under his direct order. I repeatedly asked, alongside other CIC personnel, to get autonomy so I could do things other than spam TacMaps (which he told me was one of the things I could do to be useful, other than spamming his orders over and over again).
Eventually, I had enough because I literally could not do my job and I got lost at what to even do in this situation. I asked him to return shipside because he decided to retroactively deploy a SO (who was barely functioning, as-sis) without asking me. I was left alone with another staff officer, trying to completely rectify whatever orders he was spewing, so I told him he needed to come shipside because I didn't feel comfortable with him deploying.
Because of this, he turned entirely hostile towards me, using passive-aggressive command announcements, insulting me, telling me to cryo, etc. Examples:
---
Capt Eleanor Tudor [Command (XO)] says, "I do not wish to lead anymore." (I wasn't even leading)
Capt Eleanor Tudor [Command (XO)] says, "Please take over CIC, Major." (What I wasn't allowed to command)
Command Announcement (MADE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPONSE)
It appears our XO wants to have a cry that I wont let them command the operation, and are going to cryo in protest. I must return shipside then. LT Caldwell is in charge of our ground forces. For now, keep bleeding them out at filt, push in when you've killed some T3s

Capt Eleanor Tudor [Command (XO)] says, "CO. I don't feel comfortable with this."
Maj Wamakahana Windhealer [Command (CO)] says, "Shut it and go to cryo then"
Maj Wamakahana Windhealer [Command (CO)] says, "So I can get a better XO"
Capt Eleanor Tudor [Command (XO)] says, "I am trying to develop my skills and you're being needlessly aggressive."
Maj Wamakahana Windhealer [Command (CO)] says, "I said shut it and go to cryo, the sooner I can get a new XO the better"
Maj Wamakahana Windhealer [Command (CO)] says, "If you want to stay in CIC and do your job, do that without all the sooking"
---
I think it took him ~20 minutes to get to CIC. I'm 99% certain he continued to push and be on the front lines even though I asked him to return to CIC.

Command Announcement (Kept trying to force me to cryo, for some reason.)
Xendigos are reported in ETA labs. follow delta SL and slaughter them, our XO has gone to cryo and im still making way to CIC, so dont expect any command support for a few minutes atleast
Signed by,
Major Wamakahana Windhealer
2ndLt Raymond Finlay [Command (SO)] asks, "Major, I just arrived in CIC. Am I clear on the fact us lesser officers may not issue field orders?"
2ndLt Andrii 'Necromant' Melnyk [Command (SO)] says, "Unforunately, you are."
2ndLt Andrii 'Necromant' Melnyk [Command (SO)] says, "The CO is strictly against us giving orders."
Capt Eleanor Tudor [Command (XO)] says, "We are."

At this point, IC consequences start to break out as heads of staff pretty much unanimously agree to begin a mutiny. I do not know what happens after I tell them to spread the word, but I do know the CO ends up dead. I don't know if this was escalated or not, but the actions of the CO leading up to this I don't think are acceptable.
I wish to have him investigated for the following things:
Deployment Regulations:
Your XO especially must be able to run the CIC without you. Do not deploy if your XO does not wish to take over. - I wasn't told of the conditions CIC was going to be placed under, nor did he even give any autonomy to CIC. He took forever to come back up and was hostile towards me because I asked him to do so.
Behavior:
All Commanding Officers are high-ranking, college-educated, competent, senior military officers. You should not act like a casual happy-go-lucky Private, an idiot, or otherwise act incompetently. - He was doing LRP actions such as calling squads 'tribes' (?) and I don't think it necessarily counts as LRP, but it's still odd to refer to XX-121 (xenomorphs) as 'xendigos.' I also belive how he was handling CIC was unwarranted and basically nullified its purpose - is it not supposed to be leading the operation if the CO is deployed?
--
I don't know why he demanded he deploy and have sole authority over CIC, OBs, and every other minute detail, but I think this is unbecoming conduct of a commanding officer.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
Do you understand that staff make the final decision in the resolution of this report? Yes
